Marie Wallace is German-Irish, which is befitting a gal from Manhattan's Yorkville section.  Louis Edmonds was proud of his Scottish heritage, and I was with him at a visit to Lyndhurst during a DS Festival.  Yes, he wore a kilt!  Michael Stroka was Czech, Thayer David (born David Thayer Hersey) was a Mayflower descandant, Virginia Vestoff was Danish-Russian, Donna Wandrey is Polish like John Karlen.  Humbert Allen Astredo's roots are Italian and English, Donna McKechnie is Scottish by her father and English by her mother.  Since David Selby is from West Virginia, odds are his ancestry is Scots-Irish, which is the background of many people from the Applachian region.  Jonathan is half Scottish thanks to his late mother Flora MacGregor Frid.  The surname of Frid if I can remeber what Jonathan said, has Danish, German and English roots- can someone correct me on this?

Suddenly I'm seeing little Anthony George running home for dinner on Prince spaghetti night.  (Did that ad run only in the Boston area?)

Humbert Allen Astredo's roots are Italian and English

I always thought he must be Spanish.   I associated him with Dr Who's Roger Delgado in my head somehow as a similar actor with a similar background.
